I
am no longer a teenager. What the heck?!
HI
MOM :)
Thanks
for all the birthday wishes and thoughts. They mean so much. I haven't checked
the mail or anything but I am sure everything will get here fine. I have the
best family. Thanks for all the love from everyone.
Thanks
for all the news about Kevin, Dad and the birthday party. I hope Kevin is safe.
That is some scary stuff. Nothing would be more frustrating than having political
unrest when you're trying to work. Tell Dad I am proud of him he's doing
amazing things. I am sure Rogan is going to be pretty sad though…tough life
being a dog. Eat a lot of cake and pie for me :)
Things here are pretty wet! I wish I could say that’s because of the baptismal font but sadly that’s not the case this week. It has rained and rained and rained. Ha-ha it was quite the adventure. Cali basically had a heart attack. No one knows how to drive in the rain or anything. It was great…flash flood warnings and everything. We contacted for about 12 hours total between the two days and found a very small number of prepared people. But it was so fun ha-ha, cold and wet but fun. Hopefully our future wives appreciate the effort. I guess when you knock in the rain your wife gets more attractive..here’s hoping!
Also
random side note; a companionship in my district contacted Mila Kuniz at Target. She's not prepared for the restored gospel
but it was a good shot.
We
had some small changes in our District with a new elder and a new sister. They
seem awesome, Elder Buck and Hermana Evans.
So
long story short for the week it’s been a lot of contacting. 213 people talked to and 1 new investigator. Woof. It’s hard to see that but nothing is
more peaceful than coming home and knowing I tried my hardest to share the
gospel with everyone. The blessing from this work and effort will come, they
always come.
Our
mission is seeking permission from the first presidency to use iPads. So that
might be a future tool we can use to find and teach. I am excited. It really will change the way we work. But who
knows if we will even be approved.
Headaches
are doing well. I ran out of medicine and haven't had any really strong
headaches. Plus I am eating peanut butter again, its heaven. So that’s great
news.
Sorry
it's kind of a short one this week. We have a few appointments we are trying to
get to. We are working hard. Oh so hard. And I love it. I come home and just collapse
every night. Praying and praying that God will trust us with someone who truly
is seeking the truth that comes from the restored gospel. Missionary work at its
core is love and I am loving missionary work.
Thanks
for everything Mom. This birthday will be the best one yet.
This ones for you Mom |
Study time...Elder Spears prefers to do his studying on the floor. |
The blessings always come! |
So glad that he has such a positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteFlash floods can be very dangerous - we have learned, don't take the sml car out if it is raining take the black one because it is higher off the ground and has all wheel drive.
Keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts.
Warm hugs, Auntie LInda
